More about Artist: Vautier, Ben

Benjamin “Ben” Vautier (July 18, 1935, Naples – June 5, 2024, Nice) was a Swiss-French artist and a prominent figure in the Fluxus movement. In the early 1960s, Vautier embarked on a provocative action to sign everything that came into his view, including works by other artists and even his own body. This act was inspired by Marcel Duchamp’s concept of ready-mades and the idea that a work of art is defined solely by its signature. The project culminated in 1962 with a signed declaration in which Vautier announced that he would no longer sign anything.
